| The mage must prepare a piece of paper or vellum on which are written the runes of doom. The entire ritual takes 3 hours. At the end of the ritual, the mage chooses which of the demons from hell will be the executor of the doom and writes this name on the paper as well. The mages player must actually write this down as it will come into play in the future. Once this ritual is prepared, the mage then passes the sheet of paper on to the victim whose name is also written on the paper. The victim must voluntarily accept the paper (though he need not know what’s on it). Once he accepts it, the demon named on the paper will hunt him down and kill him, Even if the demon is destroyed, it will return as soon as it's able and continue the hunt. Only by passing the paper on to another entity can the doom be transferred. If the paper is destroyed, the doom will never be lifted and can never be transferred. The base chance for success is 10% (+5% per rank). Only mages who have performed the greater pact may perform this ritual |
